This chapter gives examples of homes which make use of such interior patios and gardens which are mostly situated in the middle of the home surrounded by the other rooms. This is so each room can enjoy the view of said garden to the maximum without having to worry about what may be seen from the outside. Such interior patios could be categorized into two types, the traditional ones with trees, flowers and glass sliding doors, and the other type is inclined more towards the oriental following the art of feng-shui to harmonize the energy.
Chapter 5: Natural Materials
As for this chapter, it focuses on homes which have used their surrounding natural elements as part of their construction such as homes which were carved into rock and said rock is used as walls. Stones and boulders are also used as flooring and patios, sometimes it is taken a step further and even large trees are used as part of the interior and design of the house which links this chapter to the previous one thus it contributes to my area of research with more interesting elements and possibilities as to how such interiors could be featured.
Chapter 6: Outdoor Furniture
The idea of bringing the outdoors in does not necessarily means that it is done by bringing nature inside, but also by using elements that are usually found outdoors as part of an interior. This is done by making use of outdoor furniture inside the home. This would give the home a modern yet different touch to the interiors. A wide variety of materials could be used to enhance this concept.
